simple.dedication

simple dedication
and when insufficient light thrusts itself on my retinas
and when mist surrounds my slow-beating core
and when desert flames embrace my tongue
and when ebony solitude loiters up my spine
and when cold cerulean enlightenment yields to veinal hostility
and when warm regret dissipates in seconds
and when rain floods my compassion
and when distance and time blackens my heart
and when my intuition meddles the self-evident and simple
and when loathing wraps crimson energy around my love
and when dark light seeps into air which it doesn't belong
and when grudges form barriers of complexity
and when self-indulgence runs like a river of lava
and when resonant chords are struck in shame
and when my thoughts betray my sight
and when my heartfelt sentiments become contradictions
and when apperception loses its power
and when insignificant quarrels become catastrophic in my psyche
and when my drowning love shudders in my fury
and when my optimism is set aflame at the stake
and when my euphoric dreams fall into a mirage of despair
and when my silence is understood by my own respiration
and when fragments of my core shatter to dust
you will always be there
because a heart as perfect as yours
would never let a heart,
so bruised as mine,
down.
